I have fought the food fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now, the prize awaits me the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. -2Timothey 4:7-8

When God saw you getting tired and a sure was not to be. He put his arms around you, and whispered, “Come to me”. He didn’t like what you went through and he gave you rest. His garden must be beautiful. For He only takes the best. And when He saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain, we wouldn’t wish you back to suffer that again. Today we say goodbye, as you take your final rest. That garden must be beautiful because you are one of the best.
